1.8 16v alternator

Recommended Posts

Alright guys and girls.

 

It would appear that I'm gettin 0v charge from my alternator. Is it likely that the full alternator is dead or am I best off changing the regualtor first?

 

Cheers

Phil

Try changing the regulator pack first, Bosch alternator is very easy, 2 screws.

Check the slip rings inside too, were the brushes rub on.

If it still don't work, I'll see if I have a spare one.

Not by any chance going to Rome, Italy are you?..

Yep, I'm only a stones throw away from you mate..

Try doing what I suggested first, 99% of the time it's only a buggered regulator.
